After spotting 5 suspected Maoists in Thamarassery, the police have launched massive combing in the forest areas near Parappanpara at Thamarassery following information. District police chief (rural) M K Pushkaran said five suspected armed Maoists, including a woman, visited a house at Parappanpara on September 5. It is suspected the Maoists were led by Soman, a native of Wayanad and a former leader of Porattom. Thamarassery SI Sayooj Kumar did not confirm the reports.
“The Maoists went to the house of U Santhosh, Kannappankundil, Mattikunnu, Parappanpara, on Tuesday evening. “They spent two hours at the house and ate food. They then threatened the house owner and asked him not to inform the police about their visit. When Maoists reached the house, Santhosh’s wife Bindu and their children were there. The police has provided security to the family,” said Sayooj.
Santhosh informed the police about the incident on September 6. Police teams led by Thamarassery DySP K Ashraf and Sayooj conducted the combing.
